Hey , Hi,
i was just discussing the nicotine thing with my brother yesterday, i have actually read somewhere that people wear the "patch, in conjuction with other meds, to help depression!!
i beleive nicotine raises dopamine a bit, good for depression in some, not good for ocd, which i have also!!
odd about the gum thing though, i am an avid gum chewer, most times all day, i hear that any type of repetive motion, even chewing, raises serotonin somewhat!! sounds wayout i know, but exercise like jogging, with it's repetive quality, also raises serotonin, good for us ocd'ers...john
